——

In the annex of the Xianyang Palace, Wei Ran, Empress Dowager Xuan, King Qin and others gathered together to discuss the tricky matter of the old King of Chu.

At this time, I saw Wei Ran and said, "Sister, the king." Now the top priority of my Qin State is to try to get this old King of Chu away. ”

Empress Dowager Xuan said: "Take it away? Easier said than done. In my opinion, this old King of Chu is probably going to die with my Qin State. He has lived all his life and understands that as long as he stays in the Qin State for a day, it will be a sharp sword hanging over the head of my Qin State, making us restless. ”

Wei Ran continued: "It's strange to say, this Chu State has never opened its mouth to ask for someone from my Qin State. ”

Empress Dowager Xuan raised the corners of her mouth lightly and said with a smile: "The temples of Chu State are full of flies and dogs, how can they think so far?" It's just that he doesn't dare to make enemies with Qin openly, and as for the new king, I'm afraid that he would like the old Chu king to die early, so that no one can threaten his throne. ”

Wei Ran frowned and said: "However, it is not a way to drag on like this after all, this old Chu King's body and bones are becoming more and more endangered, in case he dies in Xianyang, it will be ......."

Empress Dowager Xuan immediately rushed and said: "Of course, we can't let the old King of Chu die in my Qin country." The countries of the Central Plains, especially the Sanjin Dynasty, are eager to tear our country of tigers and wolves to shreds and swallow it alive, especially the shrewd old fox of King Wei, this matter must be known to him, this knife is not as simple as hanging over our heads, but falling down and piercing into the heart and body, I wish to kill my Qin State. ”

Wei Ran shook his head when he heard this, and sighed: "I thought that this old king of Chu would be furious when he learned that his son had returned to Chu to become the king, but now it seems that he is very wrong, but he let him go against us without any worries." ”

Just when everyone was at a loss for the matter of the old King of Chu, a Shandong scout came to the other garden, "The queen mother, the king." Before the tenth day, Qi raised a large army to the south of the Great Wall to increase troops to attack the Song land, and the Qi general Kuang Zhang led the army to relieve the siege of Jucheng by the Song Dynasty, and led the army to continue to advance south to Huaisi. ”

As soon as this scout's remarks came out, Empress Dowager Xuan's color changed slightly, and Wei Ran was even more shocked and excited: "What? Qi is in the Song Dynasty? King Qi, is he crazy? He immediately looked at Empress Dowager Xuan and Yingji: "Sister, the king." Once the Three Jin Dynasty enters the game, although the State of Qi is a strong country, it will inevitably be difficult to stand alone, and it will be difficult to resist the four countries of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Song. ”

Wei Ran suddenly paced back and forth, clapping his hands again and again, and said hurriedly: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop...... This King of Qi is really an ally like a pig, but he is a Song Song, extremely stupid, and it doesn't make people worry, how good is this. ”

At this time, Wei Ran took the military report presented by the scout, opened it and was stunned, and couldn't help but take a closer look at the letter, for a long time, Wei Ran, who was originally scolding Qi State, suddenly laughed, and suddenly couldn't wait to say: "Sister, the king." You may not believe it when you say it, although the Qi State is at odds with the Song army, it is indeed under the slogan of fighting Chu. It turned out that the Qi State escorted the prince Heng back to Chu to succeed to the throne when a deal was reached, the Qi State escorted the Prince of Chu back to the country, and after Mi Heng became the king, he ceded the land of Huaisi and the Qi State as agreed, but unexpectedly, the new king of Chu turned his face and denied it after becoming the king, and the Qi State was furious, so he used this as a name to mobilize the people. The plan failed, and the regeneration of this plan is enough to show that Qi Guo has the assistance of a master by his side. ”

As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Wei Ran also did it again, and said with a smile: "A false alarm, which made my sister and Wang Shangjian laugh." Hey, I said, Qi State should not be so stupid to cut the Song Dynasty, so it seems that although the Qi army and the Song army are fighting each other, but since it is the name of the Chu Dynasty, it means that the Qi State will not make a big move against the Song State, just a little friction, but it will not lead the three Jin into the game, so my Qin State will not be forced to enter the game. ”

At this time, Empress Dowager Xuan looked at the letter handed by Wei Ran without saying a word, and after a long time, she suddenly said: "Maybe this unexpected news from Qi State can solve the thorny problem of the old King of Chu." ”

"Could it be that my sister has a good plan?" Wei Ran asked curiously. Empress Dowager Xuan did not reveal it, and said: "Call the old eunuch who served the King of Chu." ”

……

At this time, the old king of Chu was eating alone, and he didn't care about etiquette and shame, and he was like the old Qin people who grabbed meat with big hands and drank from the sea, and said to himself while eating: "Yingji, you kid want to send this king back to Chu now?" This king doesn't depend on you, this king is going to stick this thorn in your Qin country's body, like a fish in the throat, you can't sleep day and night, you can't sleep with this kid with incomplete teeth? It's still a little tender, hum ......"

Just as the old king of Chu was muttering to himself, the old chamberlain who served him suddenly broke in and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, the country of Chu is in danger!" ”

"The state of Chu is in danger? What happened to the State of Chu? The old king of Chu hurriedly asked, and suddenly lost the mood to enjoy the food.

"Your Excellency, the old slave general heard the Qin people say that the Qi country attacked Chu, and the king of Chu led the crowd to meet the enemy and was defeated, and he was seriously injured, I am afraid that it will be ......" The old chamberlain said that he wanted to stop talking here.

When the old king of Chu heard this, he was really furious: "It's just nonsense, Qi and Chu have already formed an alliance and repaired, how can they fight each other?" He immediately glared at the old chamberlain: "Say, were you bought by the Qin people?" Intended to confuse the widow and confuse the public! ”

The old chamberlain shook his head again and again, and said with a mournful voice: "I'm Wang Mingjian." The old slave didn't dare to believe it, but he was lucky enough to hear some Qin people's remarks, saying that the prince returned to Chu to claim that the king had made a deal with Qi, and the Qi country held the prince hostage to offer Huai Si to the place before he was willing to let the prince return to the country to call the king, and the prince allowed it, but after becoming the king, Qi entered Changsha to ask for land, and the king of Chu denied it, which caused the king of Qi to be furious, so he tore up the covenant, raised an army to attack Chu, was defeated, the king was seriously injured, and life and death were uncertain. I hope that my king will see ......"

"What......" The old king of Chu was stunned when he heard it, but he was thinking in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this thing was true, the country of Qi has always been very happy to steal an inch of land from his neighbors, and the old king of Chu has vividly remembered the bad deeds of the country of Qi. Mi Heng was a hostage in Qi State, and he lived in Qin State as a guest, this was a great opportunity for Qi State to take the opportunity to blackmail, and he also knew that Mi Heng was afraid that this thing was true.

The old king of Chu believed it, and immediately panicked: "Heng'er, no, I want to go back to see my Heng'er." Come on, call Yingji Xiaoer and Mi Bazi to me, the widow wants to return to the country, the widow wants to return to the country! My son, why are you so confused? Now how can the State of Chu be the opponent of the State of Qi, how can it take the liberty to fight with it, and what about the land of Huaisi being ceded to the State of Qi? ”

When King Chu Huai roared in the hall, there was indeed a group of people standing outside the door, led by Mi Bazi, Wei Ran and Yingji were all there, everything that happened inside was heard in his ears, and Mi Bazi was not moved or angry at the call of the old Chu King. Immediately turned around and left, King Qin and the others also followed, and saw Empress Dowager Xuan smile and said: "This old King of Chu still can't let go of his Chu State after all." ”

"It's just human nature, the old King of Chu learned that the Chu State was crumbling, of course he couldn't sit still." Wei Ran also smiled.

"Send the news to Changsha and tell the new king of Chu that the old king of Chu has returned to China, and he will know what to do." Empress Dowager Xuan said suddenly, as soon as these words came out, Wei Ran and Yingji both heard the meaning of her words, and Wei Ran hurriedly asked, "What does my sister mean......"

"The old king of Chu categorically can't really return to Changsha, otherwise his unobstructed mouth, God knows what outrageous things he will say?" Empress Dowager Xuan's expression was calm, and she was indeed shocked: "Therefore, this old king of Chu can neither stay in my Qin country, let alone die in Qin country, and of course he cannot be allowed to return to Chu country safely, as for the rest, there is no need to think about it." ”

Wei Ran heard what she meant, this was to put the old king of Chu to death, and he couldn't die in the Qin State. Inform Mi Heng of the news of the old Chu King's return to the country ahead of schedule, I believe that Mi Heng will definitely do a great rebellion, after all, as soon as the old Chu King returns to Chu State, he Mi Heng will have to come down from the throne, as long as this person is on the throne, how many people will be willing to let it out?

Thinking of this, Wei Ran couldn't help but admire: "Sister is wise, the younger brother will do this matter himself, and he can send the news in advance to secretly inform the King of Chu." ”
